Hamilton Beach Stovetop-Safe Programmable Slow Cooker 33567

With great features at a fairly reasonable price, what's not to love about the Hamilton Beach Stovetop-Safe Programmable Slow Cooker? This spacious stainless steel model has a six-quart capacity and a glass lid. It comes with a lightweight nonstick insert that's stovetop-safe for browning meat and features a programmable timer with a digital display, so it can be set to cook for a specific time before switching automatically to the keep warm setting. Even better, this best-in-test appliance whipped up a tasty beef stew in GHRI tests. Controls were easy to program and the Hamilton Beach includes a thorough manual, so it got great scores for ease of use as well.
